All depends on how we play all of the remaining games. We can lose the next 6 if we win the last 6.
So no need to worry....mathematically.
Realistically 1 point would be o.k. , if we win all home games against teams around us and get a few draws
and an unexpected win elsewhere...too many ifs and buts at this stage.

And realistically must wins will come at some point...the earlier the better, and against weaker teams at home
more likely than against top 6 teams away etc.

Again we're not giving ourselves the best chance to win starting Harrison as the 10 (it seems) ... He's been shoe horned in most of the season which is not his fault

I'm assuming Roca is playing the 4, no Gyabi even in the squad...

Rodrigo and Sinisterra are hopefully going to see significant second half game time....

Neto starting is a big worry

Looks to be 4-3-3

Aaronson surely?

Gracia likes inverted wingers.

Harrison right (which never works) Gnonto left.

Tbf who on the bench do you drop for Gyabi?

I got the personnel lineup right, but am curious about the formation. My thoughts have been that Gracia would employ Harrison on the Right wing initially with Gnonto on the left. Aaronson would play at the No. 10/supporting forward role. This could then allow Gracia flexibility to rotate those three between each of these roles based on how Wolves approaches defending them. Still curious about the formation.

Sarabia off the bench is also a curious decision. This game is going to be a battle.

Yep you're right, could have sworn I saw Summerville's name as starter... Ironically Aaronson is at his best on the right

As for question 2, Archie Gray would spring to mind or Struijk, I think Gyabi is one of the best footballers at the club so he'd be one of the first names on the subs bench for me especially with a central midfielder out

I imagine Aaronson may play behind Bamford, but I agree our best attacking options - Rodrigo and Sinisterra - are on the bench.

I hope Harrison isn’t in the 10 and Aaronson is instead. Harrison only looked sufficient at the 10 against Accrington. I do suspect he’ll have him starting at RW/RM.

See two posts up, but he's still getting shoe horned in unless Gnonto starts on the right today

NLR, but....

Robbie Mustoe on NBC just now, in reference to Harry Kane: "If he doesn't leave this summer, then I think he stays."

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

I think the decision is easy, you would drop Gray. Zero chance Gray plays in this match and Gray has yet to register a performance superior to any of Gyabi’s of late. Maybe Gracia and staff have seen something in training…

Gyabi was with the traveling squad as shown in their arrival video…so there’s that.
